B'nai Mitzvah Preparation Steps

Bring together families who will celebrate B'nai Mitzvah at around the same time to explain the ceremony, answer questions, and provide any instructional materials.

Host educational experiences for families to teach them about their children's upcoming B'nai Mitzvah and encourage them to engage with your synagogue community.

Help students select a project they will complete alongside their B'nai Mitzvah studies that will help them reflect on their faith and provide service to their community.

Before students start meeting with tutors, host workshops and courses that help provide them with foundational skills, like being able to read Hebrew prayers.

Have students meet with tutors to rehearse their Torah portions and practice for their B'nai Mitzvah.

Assign a rabbi to oversee the child's B'nai Mitzvah and have them meet with the family to solidify the ceremony's details.

Hold a rehearsal to ensure everyone knows their cues, and host the B'nai Mitzvah!
